Try resetting your Database before you do any adjustments, I have seen this problem and just reset my Database and it started reading fine. Bret WX7Y

It only requires a 100 watt dummy load. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Clay W7CE Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 12:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SPAM] Re: [Flexradio] Power meter reading I've been seeing the same thing here for a while on my 5000A, although I'm not sure exactly when it started. According to my PowerMaster wattmeter, the output power is fine but the PowerSDR wattmeter is reading low. I'm running the latest versions of the software, firmware and driver (1.18.2, 1.3.0.06 and 3.4.0.5254, respectively). I was also seeing this on PowerSDR 1.18.1. 73, Clay W7CE ----- Original Message ----- From: "dick kalt" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 5:14 PM Subject: [Flexradio] Power meter reading > For some time now I've been seeing a dramatic reduction in RF power > output on the meter.
